    My truck A/C stopped working. I checked everything I knew and couldn't figure it out. Took it to a mechanic in town. He checked it and told me my condenser fan was bad. He wanted $588 to change it. I just about choked. I told him to hold off. Paid him $180 for checking it and left. I called the local auto parts store. They had an OEM fan for $90. I youtube'd a how to for my truck and there it was. Bought the new fan and changed it myself in 45 minutes.
    Air blows cold now.

    WTG don't take long to save some money with shop labor around a hundred bucks an hour

    A gun, like any other source of power, is a force for either good or evil, being neither in itself, but dependent upon those who possess it

    Glad you got it fixed up Chris.

    He is Dan. At camp I had my truck and boat by A-44 and a bunch of us were checking out my boat. Jack told me I had a very nice looking rig except what was pulling it. I'll have to find me another Ford before camp this fall. Jack has a very sharp black crew cab and his Lowe matches it perfect.
